beet mushroom tofu veggies burgers






 100 g mushroom sauteed (what i had on hand would add more)

100 g cooked rice (used short grain sushi rice from freezer)

260 g beets (3 cups optimal)

180 g onion grated

1 1/2 c / 110 g oats 

2 TB olive oil 

5 g garlic pressed/ minced (can be doubled)

1 15 oz can black beans (or others like kidney, using cannellini) 

12 oz tofu pressed dry

12 g fresh basil (can be more plus other herbs would be a ok)

2 tsp onion and garlic powder 

1 tsp smoked paprika 

1-2  tsp adobo powder (by goya)

2 tsp salt or to taste 


in a hot pan with oil of choice saute the mushrooms. 

into a bowl or in a food processor grate beets and onions then place into a large bowl, add the oats, garlic and olive oil into the bowl and stir to combine. 

in a food processor, add the beans, tofu, the basil, onion & garlic powder, paprika, adobo powder and salt into the food processor to help to distribute the herbs/salt. 

Pulse to crack the beans and tofu to mince size but not smooth. 

Add the bean/tofu to the beet bowl and mix to combine - i used my hands at one point to squish the mix together. 

I formed 8 patties, 6 went to the freezer and 2 into the fridge to grill tonight. 

We are planning to serve with sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, romain lettuce, and a garlic basil aioli on a brioche bun.
